Far from the common specimen, this rare Wing Upright Piano from 1900 is one of the most beautiful and unusual vertical pianos ever made. Instead of the three pedals usually found on upright pianos, this one has four! The pedals on the left side control the "Instrumental Attachments,” a mechanism that permits the player to, "imitate perfectly the tones of the mandolin, guitar, zither, harp, and banjo."  The first pedal brings metal balls on springy blades into contact with the strings, so that when the hammers strike the strings, their vibrations cause the balls to bounce - sounding like a hammer bouncing on a zither. The second pedal lowers a bar fitted with small metal rings, so that when the hammers hit the rings, it transforms into a classic Tack Piano sound, without destroying the hammers! This century-old upright grand also has a strong, warm traditional upright sound with gorgeous sustain.
